Franco Morbidelli’s future has scarcely been mentioned amid a hectic♔ silly sea🌼son.

But his next step is uncertain and there are many movingౠ parts which will influence it.

The Pramac Ducati rider doe🍒s not even know which bikes his team will be riding next year.

Pramac have until July 31ꦕ to decide whether to remain a Ducati satellite team or go ෴to Yamaha.

The difference for a rider is ಞto possess the best bike on the grid, or the struggling M1.

Should Pramac move to Yamaha, the question becomes:𝐆 who will inherit the factory-spec Ducati?

VR46 are thought to be in pole position to inherit the GP24, making them an even more attractive proposit⛎ion.

Their riders💜 - Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio - also have expiring contracts this year.

But Bezzecchi has been tipped to secure the f▨actory Aprilia ride, creating a possible vacancy🐭.

VR46 make obvious sense for M🐈orbidelli, whose mentor is Valentino Rossi.

Moving into Rossi’s team’s garage would allow Morbidelli to continue with the factory Ducati, but wear different 🥂colours.

Morbidelli, who was dropped by Yamaha afte�🍌�r a season of scrutiny last year, had the early part of 2024 ruined by injury.

A crash du🍒ring preseason testing wrecked his hop𓂃es of a fast start at Pramac.

However, finishing sixth at Mugello and seventh in Le Mans has been a reminder oౠf his qualities.

Pramac already know they will be without J𝓡orge Martin, their champions꧙hip leader, next year, but Morbidelli’s fate is up in the air.
